The Journal of the American Academy of Religion examines diverse religious phenomena, including Afro-Brazilian religions, Calvinist Christian nationalism, state-socialist secularism, and Islamic funerary practices. It explores theoretical approaches to defining religion, the role of knowledge claims in religious life, the historical coherence of evangelicalism, and the mediation of religious experience through sound. The journal also investigates the deployment of biblical arguments in settler colonization and the concept of heresy in understanding religious authority.
